Model Life

Chapter 2

"A while ago." I answered starting another game.

"Wait. You play?" Jak asked shocked.

"The video game. Yes. Actual soccer. No." I answered. "Well, not anymore." I muttered looking down at the remote.

"You're amazing! Why not?" Thomas asked. I really didn't want to talk about this. I checked the clock hoping I could say it was getting late and I had to go for my photo shoot. It was time to leave. Perfect.

"I better go. I have to go to that thing now." I sighed standing up. "Maybe you can come over to my place tomorrow." I said starting to grab my keys that I left on the table.

"Yeah!" Carlos and Thomas yelled while Jak nodded happily and Ricky continued eating the pizza. Luke didn't say anything; he just stared at me.

"Great then. I'll see you guys tomorrow after school." I smiled waving as I walked back to the door. A hand stopped me before I could grab the door handle.

"Why didn't you ask me out? I mean I would've said no, but still why?" Luke actually look shocked. What's this kids deal?

"What?" I laughed.

"You didn't ask me out or take my money when I offered to buy the pizza like normal girls. I mean I don't date girls at school anyways, but you didn't even try." He explained.

"Well...I didn't ask because I don't know you. Why would I want your money anyways? I have my own. And now I guess I can go home and cry because you'll never date me." I put on a fake sad face and turned the door handle smirking as I walked out of the house watching his shocked expression. Cocky much?

I arrived at my photo shoot a few minutes early with Cam. "You'll be great." She yelled at me as the make up and hair artist carried me away for preparation.

"Thanks." I yelled back as the pulled me into a small room with a huge mirror deal with lights lining it. They say me at the table as started right away. One girl starting to brush my hair while the other looked at my face carefully trying to decided what make up would look best with my eye color and facial features. After an hour of the hair girl straightening my hair then curling the ends perfectly, the make up girl took over putting my skin tone foundation on, then black eye liner, mascara, shiny lip gloss with no color, and a light light pink blush on my cheeks. I looked better than I ever have before. The two girls and I smiled at the outcome and then they hurried me off to another room set out with a rack of clothes and a full length mirror.

"Hi, I'm Miguel." A mans voice came from behind the rack before I saw his blonde hair pop up.

"Hi, Izzy." I smiled shaking his hand. He looked me up and down before back at the rack. I shifted uncomfortably as the man kept looking at my body. He wasn't even ashamed of it or trying to cover it up.

"Oh, I'm you're outfit director, sweety." He laughed obviously noticing my shifting. I laughed embarrassingly loosening up as he pulled out a few articles of clothing and handing them to me. "Here. Put these on while I find the shoes for it." He smiled.

"Thank you." I replied as he closed the door.

I stripped down to my underwear even taking off my bra since the crop top tank top he had given me had a built in one. I slid on the tight fitting black skinny jeans with the white lacy cropped tank top he gave me that went just above my belly button. I looked at myself in the mirror happy with the appearance until Miguel came back in with black high heels matching the pants.

"You look gorgeous!" He exclaimed as I stepped into the shoes spinning slowly for him to see the outfit.

"Thanks." I smiled. I looked at the clock seeing that it was 7:30 pm now. Wow, it took a long time to get ready for these things.

"Now, let's go. They are ready for you now." He smiled taking my hand to the set with a camera set up in front of the black leather couch they had sitting in front of a white backdrop. I'm guessing the color theme is black and white.

"Izzy, darling. Here come and let's set you up." Another man gestured for me to come over to the couch. I walked to him. "This is Antonio. You will be posing with him." The photographer said looking at a man with light black stumble on his face complementing his tan skin and green eyes. His black hair was styled into a small quiff. He was dressed in black jeans and a plain black t shirt with white shoes.

"Hello." He smiled at me.

"Hi." I smiled back.

"Alright now! Let's get going." The photographer clapped his hands pulling my arms towards Antonio who he set up leaning against the arm of the chair on the side. He placed me between his legs and bent my knee closest to the cameras direction. I was told to wrap my left arms around his shoulder and place my right hand on his chest so I wouldn't cover his face from the camera. He then was told to place he hands on my hips pulling him close to his body. "Perfect! Now both of you look at me. Faces need to be serious, sexy, serene." The photographer gushed now standing behind the camera. We did what he said and he snapped multiple pictures before walking back over to reposition us.

Now we were placed sitting on the end of the couch. Me sitting on Antonia's lap with his legs opened slightly. I was turned so you could see my face and was leaning against the arm of the chair. I had my left arms around his neck again with my right on his chest..again. He had one arm around my waist pulling my up a little while his other rested on my thighs on his lap.

"In this one, Izzy look at the camera with closed eyes and a face like you know you're making the wrong decision being with Antonio, and Antonia look at Izzy with absolute pure love." We heard someone behind the camera yell. We obeyed and even through closed eyes I saw the flashes. "One last pose and you'll be done for the day." He came back over to give us our last position.

He helped me up and Antonio smiled at me while he stood up as well. Three guys came over and moved the couch away leaving just Antonio and I to pose in front of the camera. They moved us so I was standing in front of Antonia with his right arms hooking around my waist to the front of my stomach, his left hand resting on my hip. I had my left hand positioned behind me on his neck and my right hand over his left hand on my hip.

"Look at each other with love. Like you two are in complete and utter love with each other." The voice yelled again. I turned my head to look up at him while he looked down at me. His eyes were so bright. Almost as bright as Luke's even though Luke's eyes are blue. Thinking of Luke caused my stomach to flip and a smile to tug on my lips. Antonio smiled back down at me, but I barely noticed since all I could think of were Luke's stupid laugh, his smile, and his adorable awkwardness. Oh no. I'm falling for Luke.
